The Anglican Communion is in turmoil. One of the great historic
pillars of Christianity, embraced by 70 million people in 164
countries, faces the real and immediate possibility of dismberment,
as the spectre of schism looms ever closer. Yet why is gay
sexuality the tinderbox that could rip the Anglican Communion
apart, and put an end to a century-old and hugely-prized
international unity, when such contentious issues as the ordination
of women, or unity discussions with other churches, failed to cause
a split? In answering this question, Stephen Bates will show that
unity has been coveted by some above integrity, and has been the
cause of vicious infighting and internal politics. In the run-up to
publication of A Church At War the author will be in the front
line, as he files regular reports on the twists and turns of
battle. His eagerly awaited book will be the only one to assess the
current state and historical context of the row, the strengths and
weaknesses of the protagonists' positions, and the tactics that
they are employing to win the day. A Church At War promises
compelling insights into a power struggle between factions
seemingly united only by their mutual antipathy, and conducted,
paradoxically, in the name of true communion.'
Dr. Aaron McNair Sr., an acclaimed author, teacher, and pastor,
focuses on how to succeed as a preacher and leader in this
step-by-step guidebook. Whether you have just assumed a leadership
role or are seeking to hone your skills so you can rise up through
the ranks, you can learn how to become an effective preacher.
Discover how to embrace the pain and joy of the assignment; lead
your church with integrity; preach even when you're having
problems; and maximize your effectiveness at the pulpit.
Although written for religious leaders, the guidebook provides
lessons for business leaders as well. Dr. McNair shares how he has
applied best practices so that you can apply effective leadership
techniques in a variety of settings.
Accept the premise that "failure is never an option" and develop
the mental and physical stamina to become the best preacher and
leader possible. It starts with learning to be confident, tactful,
and selfless so you can start "Preaching with a Problem."
Against the Stream? offers a timeless selection of some of Karl
Barth's most important shorter essays and sermons from the period
